VOD 90K: Vodka for the narrow Devon lanes

Exeter still tries to be interesting today buswise, but for me as is the case elsewhere it's a bit of a losing battle. I hated the shoddy looking 1970-80s NBC/PTE Era which is why I was happy to snap away in a nostalgic monochrome sometimes taking more creative images perhaps. This quick call one Saturday on the way home in 1980 was a good one with plenty of interesting older half-cab Exeter Leylands and Devon General AEC's to photograph, but these little quirky Marshall bodied Bristol LH's reinforced the idea that I was visiting somewhere a bit different in character. Nick-named by crews 'Vodkas' these little buses were ideal for Devon's narrow roads.
